Mission: To tell the story of the A. Harry Moore School and to demonstrate its use of technology* over the past 100 years using a proximity-based mobile application.
Goals: To compile artifacts and information about three periods in the history of the A. Harry Moore school that parallel the development of New Jersey City University:
New Jersey State Normal School at Jersey City (1929), renamed New Jersey State Teachers College (1935)
Jersey City State College (1958)
New Jersey City University (1998)
To organize these materials in concert with specific locations within the school building. (Cornerstone, Entrance, Elevator, Auditorium, Natatorium, Therapy Room, Dining Room, Solarium, Classroom)
To upload these materials to "cards" on Locly.com, so that they can be accessed by iBeacons placed throughout the school.
Objectives:
To reflect the innovative nature of the work of AHM, from its inception until today -
"AHM has set the standard for the types of children we educate." "It has been an innovation of necessity" because the school population has changed from children with polio to children with low-incidence disabilities.
To reflect AHM's commitment to developing the students' self-esteem and self-determination
To create a presentation that is user-friendly and appropriate for the variety of guests that regularly tour the school
*Technology includes assistive and therapeutic examples.
